9:59 - on high end scopes you can turn off the "digital phosphor" if you don't want to see intricate signal distribution (or simply use single capture with deep memory). But on Hantek you don't have this option and oblidged to spend hours to see rare event.

For a computer monitor oscilloscope screen a white background is much better as you can obviously see between the Pico and the Hantek. The workbench room lighting washes out the Hantek display. On a computer typing text on a white background is much easier to see. You know how difficult it is to read the text on a Command Prompt (CMD) screen.

Love your products, thanks for the recommendations 😊

Just a heads up, but there's actually an open source version of that Hantenk software out there.

Haven't used it myself, but from what I understand it's quite a bit better than the standard software.

I like the video. Will the software for the Hantek or the Picoscope do data logging? and if so for how long?

[urgon]

You are using your bench scopes wrong.This "frame merging" emulates the way analog scopes worked (due to phosphor in the oscilloscope tube fading much more slowly), and is fully adjustable. It's a major feature for dealing with analog signals, as it shows all kinds of glitches and is key to properly show AM signals. I suggest looking into display settings in your other scopes. I suspect that Hantek scope also can do that, but due to poor quality they didn't turned it on by default...

Also could you add to the description the models of the scopes shown?

[chisdalton]

Thank you for that . Are the multi meter type any use

[CaptSpeirsB]

I just purchased it on Amazon for $67 shipped. Should be here tomorrow.

The audio post-processing is too aggressive rendering the content almost unintelligible. Sounds like noise reduction gone amuck.

[jakek]

It would have been nice to have links to the products.

Thanks for the review.
So, is this £66 scope, a good choice for repairing/diagnose game gears ?

[Agouti]

Did you make a decision on whether you wanted to tey your hand at a better UI for the Hantek software?

[christophersmith-znkn]

I had a hantek bench top scope and to be honnest it was a pile of junk. Did the same test on both channels and channel two give a totally different reading to Chanel one plus Chanel 2 you could never get a good square wave without rounded corners or spikes.

[cfdfirefighter]

Did you go through with making a new UI for the hantek? If you did I’d buy a computer one.

[douphowto]

I found using the hantek with hscope app on Android is amazing, not to mention it's completely portable. The pc software offered by hantek is absolutely useless.

[trilexfix]

For Macbook repairs is the HANTEK 6022BE a good option?

[RBKing]

Are you still doing free repairs if you do a video on them ? If so I have an Atari Lynx Model 2 with a power fault. Turns on then off apparently.

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

The squishy mess of which you complain can be changed in the settings of most 'scopes to show a clean shot.

i don't know, maybe dso 138? aliexpress?
